A plea arrangement in San Angelo, TX has allowed 29-year-old Thomas Boden to walk away with 10 years’ probation. Boden’s alleged crime? According to RawStory, it’s one that’s so horrific that it has sparked a wave of protests over the leniency of the sentencing.

Boden was intoxicated and driving with his girlfriend, Brittany Lynn Rosser, and attempted to have her crash the vehicle so that they would both die. Brittany managed to get them home alive, but the night would quickly become even more disturbing.

While she contacted police, Boden managed to find himself alone with Brittany’s two children, aged four and two. As officers arrived on the scene, her two-year-old started screaming in pain. Brittany explained in a Facebook post what she would find.

“So I laid her down and opened her diaper to find an enormous amount of blood and a clear vaginal tear. I asked Annabelle what happened and she said, ‘Tom hurt me with his hand.’ I ran outside screaming and crying, pushed past several cops and asked Thomas if he touches my daughter. He didn’t say a word, but had a slight grin on his face,” she wrote.

Boden was charged, but accepted a plea deal that allowed him to walk away with probation. There were no witnesses to the assault outside of Brittany’s four-year-old daughter, and the prosecutors worried that he would walk away with a not guilty verdict. The lenient penalty for a horrific act has sparked a wave of outrage and protests.
